Maybe they got ugly rats where Roam comes from.

Nah, they're healthier and friendlier rats out his way.

NYC rats are their own obnoxious, angrier subspecies.

Baltimore rats are mutants.

Are they fearless mutants?

I still think our rats could kick your rats butts. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

I have rats in my house, but they are friendly rats. We named them Sugar and Spice. Very sweet girls they are :)

Well.................I wonder which are the dirtier.

I've seen some skank-a-lankin' buck tooth critters.

I've had pet rats. Those are very different from the street wise ones that will fight you for your sandwich and abduct your small children to eat later.

MarkO, come up our way. We'll go drink stuff and compare. :) Field trip!

Can we go shoot rats at the dump?

And shoot the empty beer bottles?

The rat I saw was pretty - brown colors in his coat - a little scrawny perhaps. He was skeered too - ran so fast he didn't even notice her leg till he bounced off it!

Ew. No dumps. In NYC they live in the subways. Guns in the subways make people nervous. ;)

Rat hit me hard too. Bad timing on both of our parts, much to the delight of the people behind us.

T'was a good solid rat.

I recon Masten will be less wildlife prone. ;)

Guns in the subways make people nervous.

only if they see them. i'd hate to guess how many guns are on the train at any given time.

This is sounding like a Bruce Willis movie.
MarkOTheBeast

Which one?

There were probably as many weapons on the train as there will be in the PA forests later this month.

The subway was probably safer too. ;)

I am going to be so bummed if I end up not being able to make this trip. :( The full moon makes it even better!

When the alcohol starts flowing, there might be several full moons.

It's The Hunter's Moon!

The ghoulies will be hunting for innocent blood!

Sadly, they will have to look elsewhere.

It's them four legged river/wharf rats you really got to watch out for. They are the size of small dogs and get their personality from watching the longshoremen. Them critters can get real ugly.

Phew... now I feel better. Forgiven I am.... but innocent... not a chance.

Cool, we better get a gallon of scotch instead of only a half gallon.

Yesssir!

Brother Chili, I will lend a hand with that scotch since I won't have far to fall Saturday night.

Blood Moon?!?
Outstanding!

Do you think that'll be enough?

Bearmagnet won't be there so, yeah it might be enough.
MarkOTheBeast

Ok. If you say so.

If there's going to be a pre-Samhain Blood Moon Drinking Ritual I may have to show up for a while on Fri night.
spindlette

Why not just get your tail on over there Friday?

On Friday there will be much cookery and drinkery and quite possibly some tom-foolery as well.
MarkOTheBeast
12:43:36 PM

'cause my tail is supposed to be elsewhere. :)

We'll see.
